ANAHEIM, Calif. -- DJ LeMahieu made his return to the New York Yankees' lineup on Tuesday after missing the season's first two months with a non-displaced fracture in his right foot.
Before his injury, which he suffered when he fouled a ball off that foot in the middle of March, the plan was for LeMahieu to consistently lead off. When he returned, for the start of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels, he was placed in the No. 9 spot, a sign of how well the Yankees' offense has fared without him.
